Interpol: Pirate DVDs More Valuable Than A Sack Full Of Weed
Blog Cinemocracy extracts a "fun fact" from this Variety story (sub. req'd) on the international pirate DVD trade, in which Interpol (no, not the band, silly hipster!) claims movie piracy is the new black of terrorist funding: "One kilo of pirated discs is worth more than one kilo of cannabis resin.”
Remember this the next time you're weighing your choices for indirectly funding a terrorist: Drugs have created more jobs in this industry than piracy ever will. So put down that camcorder copy of DodgeBall and call your dealer, right now. The fate of the world rests in that dime bag!
